Scientists at UCL and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology have recreated how RNA might have first replicated itself on ...

Chemists have demonstrated how RNA (ribonucleic acid) might have replicated itself on early Earth -- a key process in the origin of life.

Life is thought to have begun when RNA began replicating itself, and researchers have got close to achieving this in the lab ...

Freeze–thaw cycles in an icy pond could let an enzyme copy RNA double helices indefinitely — suggesting one way in which ...

DNA and RNA are nucleic acids found in the nucleus ... Self-growth of cells has been a goal for replication in synthetic cells. Here, the authors report on the integration of a DNA amplification ...

The bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB) may have an 'on-off switch' that lets them pause and restart growth, according to a new study. The research helps explain why TB is so hard to treat with ...

A prevailing theory in the scientific community, known as the "RNA World" hypothesis, suggests that life may have originally ...

The bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB) may have an "on-off switch" that lets them pause and restart growth, according to a new study from the University of Surrey and the University of Oxford.
